Question from
Neeniya
I rescured my Veronica (Inspires Blue) from my raise bed early this spring (bought it last year). Discovered part of my flower bed is only half a spade deep - not deep enough to protect the root from freezing weather? Transferred it to a medium size pot. Not glowing but leaves full of black spots. What has gone wrong? Please enlighten me.

I have just checked up on where to plant my Veronica (long-leaved Forester Blue); on the webpage it says 'partial shade or full sun' , but then 'sheltered' under Exposure. What does it mean? - sheltered or full sun? Can some one enlgihten me?
